ASA5585 Etherchannel Support

[zekebashi]

Hi,

I have a pair of NX7Ks which are connected via a vPC and want to know if I can connect an ASA5585 to each switch using a L3 port-channel?  Does the ASA5585 support this configuration? 

Thanks!

yes they support etherchannels and will work with vpc

According to the links below, attaching an L3 device to a vPC pair isn't a recommended design and it suggests to link the L3 device to each vPC peer device using an L3.  

I was wondering if I could use an L3 Etherchannel on the ASA and a L2 vPC  ports on the vPC peers and SVI on the vPC peers. Will this work?
